Banner against loneliness

Were you as active last Saturday as Nuria Yanguas from Spain?
To mark International Women’s Day, UpBizkaia and the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia organized a special event titled “Women with Disabilities – Weaving Networks to Prevent Unwanted Loneliness.”
Of course, a specially designed banner with Braille lettering was a must!
A huge thank you to Nuria Yanguas, who contributed to making the banner and thought of us—sending us these two photos.
Here’s a brief description of the banner:

Describtion

The banner is a 30 cm wide strip, knitted in garter stitch with purple wool.
On it, “8 M” is written in Braille using white, crocheted bobbles.
Next comes the logo of Unidad Progresista de la ONCE, crocheted in various colors.
Following that, “8 M” and the logo of the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia also appear, both crocheted.

Four women seated at a desk on the stage of a conference room giving a presentation. In front of their desk there is a banner made out of purple wool with crocheted letters and logos. From left to right: “8KM” as white braille, the logo of the “Union Progresista” of ONCE (the letters U and P on four red, blue, yellow, and green hearts forming a cloverleaf), “8M” as white letters, and the logo of the administration of the basque region of Bizkaia (a red leaf on white background). Behind the women there is the projected slide of a presentation with the title “Women with disability: Weaving networks to prevent unwanted loneliness”, written in both spanish and basque.
